mikc Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 So I'm a newb to the osx86 scene. I just installed the Mac os x 10.4.8 onto my comp. Everything worked fine; I could log in. So I decided to install titan and try to get some video drivers. Installed.... Now reboot.... then all goes dark I see nothing. Any clue as to why its not working?

boinkytwo Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 boot using -v -x that should bring you to safe mode, just like window. and then remove titan.kext from /system/library/extensions if -v -x dosnt work, then boot in single user mode by doing this at boot: -v -s then type /sbin/ mount -uw /, hit enter then type rm -rf /system/library/extensions/titan.kext hit enter type logout and/or reboot -------------------------------------- still doesnt work? remove nvdaresman.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

os_overload Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I had the same problem on 10.4.10 using some kind of fixed kernel (osx86.hu i_r_c server) and r3d3.kext (the kernel doesn't include decryption as far as i know). I was only using a hacked kernel before and it worked (semthex). Card: ATi Radeon 9600 Pro (ATIRadeon9700.kext from 10.4.8, the 10.4.10 one crashes with an undefined symbol error) It boots without the kext but then theres no QE/CI. The most annoying thing is that I can see the mouse pointer, blue screen and login window appear before the screen goes black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinkytwo Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 you should have backup all your modified kext like the ati kext file before proceeding with 10.4.10. try to remove that ati kext and see if it will help. mach_kernel too should not be overwritten when updating to 4.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

os_overload Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I found a fixed 10.4.10 Atiradeon9700.kext file which works, but still couldn't get a higher screen res. I tried Callisto b008 and 006 both of which produced strange problems with multiple mouse pointers which had vertical lines through them, then I tried b005 and removed the forced display size setting that I had added to com.apple.Boot.plist. In order to be sure that QE would work, I changed the frame buffer in ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin/Contents/Info.plist to CallistoFB from IONDRVFramebuffer as I as saw instructed elsewhere on this forum. This worked and had QE/CI, and allowed me to change my monitor to the larger screen sizes (like 1680x1050 and 1600x1400), however the correct screen size appeared with the top menu bar offscreen, as if it were too large, so I had to choose a slightly off resolution.
